Michael Oliver to ref Liverpool v City - City lodge complaint

[northwichblue]

Dean is not on VAR, he's the fourth official. From the PL site:
"Referee: Michael Oliver (pictured). Assistants: Stuart Burt, Simon Bennett. Fourth official: Mike Dean. VAR: Paul Tierney. Assistant

That's fucked it

Can any of us honestly say that any of the current crop of refs would naked us optimistic about a trip to klanfield? Bent, incompetent, weak, or a combination of all three - the result is the same.

He’s spineless. Fully expect him to bottle a big decision that works against us

We should bet on how many times when we are taken out that he taps his ear and pass the buck like he did last time

The trouble with these sort of games is the refs shit themselves from the pressure of the dippers fans. For which Oliver will book two or three of our players within the first 10 minutes.

I was amazed last season when Atkinson gave us the late penalty, mind you he did deny Sergio a good shout as well.

Yes the screaming and crying will be at full decibel from the first minute. I see they are rounding up the thugs for the coach welcome again.

Weak but could work to our favour! Our players would have to learn to do a "LA LIGA" on him. One foul from the opposition and 7 of our players would to run to him , surround him and then complain tirelessly. Rinse and repeat until you intimidate him and get a decision in our favour.

Right now we are playing the "good guys" only to end up paying the cost far too often.

Its a pretty sad indictment of the current crop that he is *considered* one of the "best".
